I love this guy! Seriously though, beyond the man-crush, this guy is awesome! He’s all about states rights, and has been making serious waves lately against this current regime in DC on the issue, and to top it off he does this!
Texas Gov. Perry Shoots Coyote During Jog Tuesday, 27 Apr 2010 06:55 PM
Texas Gov. Rick Perry has a message for wily coyotes out there: Don’t mess with my dog.
Perry says he needed just one shot from his laser-sighted pistol to take down a coyote that was menacing his dog during an early morning jog in an undeveloped area near Austin.
Perry told The Associated Press on Tuesday that he sometimes carries his pistol, loaded with hollow-point bullets, when he jogs on trails because he’s scared of snakes. He’d also seen coyotes in that area.
When the coyote came out of the brush toward his daughter’s Labrador retriever puppy on a February jog, he charged it and shot it with his .380 Ruger pistol.
Perry’s warning: “Don’t attack my dog or you might get shot … if you’re a coyote.”
The man just makes me Texas-proud! (your humble blog host is a native son)
One of my favorite things in the world is beer, and I’m not talking about Coors Light here, people. I mean good beer; from local microbrews, to Guinness, to Schneider’s Aventinus (which I’m currently consuming as I write this.)
I present to you – Ten cool beer facts:
Way back in the 1900’s, nearly all saloons were under the ownership of the brewery that made the beer served there and the weekly earnings of the bartenders were $10-$15.
When on a Safari in Africa, President Theodore Roosevelt carried with him no less than 500 gallons of beer.
The expression “Rule of Thumb” actually came from brewers, who used to insert their thumb into the mix during the beer making process to find out when the temperature was just right for the yeast to be added.
The expression “Wet Your Whistle” in fact can be traced to a fascinating tale from England. It appears that whistles were in fact baked into the edge of beer mugs in order to enable beer drinkers get the waiter’s attention to refill their mugs.
The term “cerevisaphile” refers to any body that enjoys beer.
The expression “Mind Your P’s & Q’s” comes from the time when ale was ordered in English bars, the order was taken in pints or quarts. When someone became slightly drunk the bartender would holler at that person to mind his pints & quarts.
In Japan, you will see beer being sold at train stations, in vending machines, and also by street vendors.
The recipe for making beer is the oldest one ever to be written.
The actors Bruce Willis, Bill Cosby, Sandra Bullock, Tom Arnold, and Chevy Chase are some of the stars that began their careers serving beer as bartenders.
Next to tea, beer is the second most well liked beverage in the world, enjoyed by millions.
Almost exactly 65 years later, a young airman is finally identified and brought home, and a family has some closure.
Godspeed T/Sgt. McClellan, and Rest In Peace…
The Department of Defense POW/Missing Personnel Office announced today that the remains of a U.S. serviceman, missing in action from World War II, have been identified and returned to his family for burial with full military honors.
U.S. Army Air Forces Tech. Sgt. Walter A. McClellan will be buried Friday in his hometown of Pensacola, Fla.
On April 17, 1945, McClellan’s B-17 Flying Fortress was struck by enemy fighters while on a bombing run against a rail depot in Dresden, Germany. Following the war, U.S. teams attempted to locate the remains of the crew but because the area was under Soviet control, no further searches could be conducted. The U.S. Army was forced to declare the remains of the “Towering Titan’s” crew to be non-recoverable.
Two reports from German citizens in 1956 and 2007 indicated that the remains of a 19-year-old were buried as an “unknown” in a local church cemetery in Burkhardswalde. Church records revealed that the grave held the remains of a young American flyer who had parachuted from his aircraft over the town of Biensdorf, was captured and killed by German SS forces near Burkhardswalde. He was first buried in the town’s sports field, but exhumed by the townspeople after the war and reburied in the church cemetery.
In September 2008, a recovery team of the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command exhumed the grave in Burkhardswalde and recovered human remains and other artifacts, including a silver Army Air Forces identification bracelet bearing the emblem of a qualified aerial gunner. The biological profile of the remains and McClellan’s dental records enabled JPAC scientists to establish the identification.

Discovery Announcement : The densest element in the known Universe has been found!
Pelosium
A major research institution has just announced the discovery of the densest element yet known to science. The new element has been named Pelosium. Pelosium has one neutron, 12 assistant neutrons, 75 deputy neutrons, and 224 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 311.
These particles are held together by dark forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons.
The symbol of Pelosium is PU.
Pelosium’s mass actually increases over time, as morons randomly interact with various elements in the atmosphere and become assistant deputy neutrons within the Pelosium molecule, leading to the formation of isodopes.
This characteristic of moron-promotion leads some scientist to believe that Pelosium is formed whenever morons reach a certain quantity in concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as Critical Morass.
When catalyzed with money, Pelosium activates CNNadnausium, an element that radiates orders of magnitude more energy, albeit as incoherent noise, since it has half as many peons but twice as many morons as Pelosium.
How can you possibly make a bacon egg and cheese sandwich on a bagel even more awesome, you ask? Why infusing all of those things into the bagel, of course!
Every morning, scores of people greet the day with a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich on a bagel. But a shop in Brooklyn has asked — Why not double up and bake those ingredients right into the bagel? Thus, we bring you the bacon, egg & cheese bagel.
“Everyone loves bacon. I don’t care who you are,” explains Scot Rossillo of The Bagel Stores in Brooklyn. “Even if you are a vegan, you at least love the smell of bacon.”
So, inspired by a Neapolitan specialty known as lard bread, Scot decided to add chunks of fresh-cooked bacon, ground black pepper and cheddar cheese to an egg bagel.
And you’ll never guess what he says is the best way to eat one:
“This bagel does not replace the texture of regular bacon, egg and cheese, but if you add bacon, egg and cheese to a bacon, egg and cheese bagel, it certainly increases the flavor. That’s very popular right now. It will heighten the experience for you to a new level of satisfaction.”
I’m tempted to throw a KFC Double Down between two halves of bacon, egg & cheese bagel just to see which part of my body shuts down first.
Just FYI – The blog site will likely be experiencing some temporary outages over this weekend, as I move the site to a new server.
It shouldn’t be noticed though, as the site will be uploaded on the new server first, being a mirror image before the DNS propagation is made.
EDIT 2010.04.18 17:00 – Qapla’!! looks like we’re good to go! Still looking around making sure nothing is missing, but so far all the database tables, plugins and uploaded image content appears to be here.
Barack, seriously… WTF? again with the submissive bowing to other foreign leaders? You wanna give him a handjob, after that handshake? Shouldn’t he at least buy you dinner, first?
THE PATRIOT MICROCHIP is intended to be implanted in terrorists.
The implant is specifically designed to be installed in the forehead.
When properly installed, it will allow the one implanted to speak to God.
It comes in various sizes:
The exact size of the implant will be selected by a well-trained and highly skilled technician.
The implant may or may not be painless. Side effects, like headaches and nausea, are temporary. Some bleeding or swelling may occur at the injection site.
Please enjoy the security we provide for you.
Best regards,
